Affordable accommodation in Sydney
We have outlined the best budget accommodation options in the Sydney CBD. Affordable yet good quality hotels that don’t hurt your wallet too much.

Staying in the Sydney CBD keeps you close to all the action and to the city’s most popular tourist attractions and landmarks. It also gives you great options to choose from when it comes to restaurants, shopping malls and theaters.

But staying overnight in and around Sydney is very expensive, especially hotels in or close to the CBD. But if you spend some time researching accommodation options in Sydney, you will find that there are still great budget hotels available.

They may not always provide the luxury we all wish for, but the below 8 budget hotels are of very decent quality, they are clean, and best of all, they are located in great locations.

3. Travelodge Hotel Sydney Martin Place

Located in a quiet street close to Martin Place and St James train station, Travelodge Hotel Sydney offers comfortable budget accommodation at very reasonable prices.

All major tourist attractions, such as the Opera House and Harbour Bridge in the north and Darling Harbour in the west, are in walking distance.

Final Thoughts

As you can see from the list above, staying overnight in Sydney can actually be quite affordable. The most important thing is to have a room in a clean and safe environment, because most of your time in Sydney will be spent outside exploring anyway.

If we had to pick a favourite from this list of budget Sydney CBD hotels then it would be the Sydney Harbour YHA. It suits both backpackers looking to sleep in shared accommodation, as well as couple travellers and families in need of a private room.
